Right, money always seemed really tight in the game, so buring $1 or $2 to hunt for a card ended up an exercise in frustration most of the time.

I’m always looking for co-ops, and did play this game at PAX Unplugged this weekend after reading your article. It didn’t take too long, but was a bit frustrating for many of the reasons you mentioned (especially having to pay to dig through the whole card deck looking for the single card that could reduce your traffic/polution/crime, etc). The game does have the ability to cycle through cards for $1 at the end of the milestone, so we burned a lot of money looking for specific cards.
In general, i didn’t love the game because there did not seem to be anyway to really boost the happiness score in the base game, so our city ended with a net 7 happiness, and we couldn’t figure out how to get it any higher. Why even bother building a city at that point?
